Selection Summary Beavers build dams in streams and then build homes in the ponds made by their dams. They use their teeth for cutting branches to use for building materials and for food. Life underwater protects beavers from most of their predators who cannot swim. Both younger and older beavers are kept busy building and rebuilding their dams.

La vida del castor
by Michael Falcon
Build Background Tell children that beavers are furry animals that build homes in the water. Build interest by asking questions such as the following: ¿Qué saben acerca de los castores? ¿Para que podrían usar esos dientes fuertes? Read the title and author’s name and talk about the cover photograph. Tell children that this book is informational text, so the words and photos will give factual information about the topic.
Introduce the Text Guide children through the text, noting important ideas, and helping with unfamiliar language and vocabulary so they can read the text successfully. Here are some suggestions: Page 2: Explain that this is a book about what beavers do. Suggested language: Vayan a la página 2. Hay una foto de una castor. El rótulo de la foto dice: Castor. ¿Qué está haciendo el castor? ¡Los dientes del castor son tan fuertes que puede talar un árbol así de grande! Page 3: Direct children to the photo. Explain that trees have small parts called ramas that come out from the trunk. Miren esta foto. ¿Qué es lo que hace el castor con las ramas de los árboles? Miren el rótulo. Los castores hacen diques que detienen el agua del arroyo. Page 5: Tell children that the photo shows a beaver home in the estanque made by its dam. Explain that the home is on the top of the photo. ¿Por qué creen que el castor construye su hogar en el estanque y no en el agua del arroyo? Page 8: Point out the label for this photo: Dique roto. ¿Cómo creen que el arroyo podría destruir el dique del castor? ¿Qué creen que hace el castor cuando se destruye el dique? Ahora vuelvan al comienzo del libro y lean para aprender las diferentes cosas que hace el castor.

Observa el castor. Está cortando un árbol con sus dientes. Va a construir un dique.

El dique detendrá el agua en el arroyo y formará un estanque. Un castor utiliza lodo y ramas para construir su dique.

El castor vive en un estanque ya que el agua profunda lo protege. Muchos animales que comen castores no son buenos nadadores.
